[p]Hello everyone! šŸ‘‹[/p][p]We’ve just wrapped up one of the last big technical tasks before Early Access - the save system. šŸ’¾
It’s working smoothly, so you’ll be able to keep your progress without any issues. Right now, we’re polishing the final gameplay mechanics for the continuous play mode that unlocks after finishing the story missions - making sure room standards, overall motel quality, and rental profits are calculated correctly. 🌟[/p][p]We’re also working on localizations šŸŒ - our goal is to have as many languages as possible ready for the Early Access launch, with more to be added in the future.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][h2]A Look BackĀ [/h2][p]With the big launch just around the corner, we thought it would be fun to take you on a little trip back in time and see how far the game has come over the past year. ā³ Some of these places might look familiar… or maybe they didn’t even exist back then! šŸ‘€[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][p]šŸļø The Beach
Last year… there wasn’t even a beach to visit.
Now? The beach is alive, full of atmosphere, and ready for your guests to enjoy.

Back in early development, our rooms were… let’s say ā€œminimalist.ā€
Now they’re fully equipped, cozy, and ready to welcome travelers from all walks of life.[/p][p]

What was once a barren landscape has become a lively, colorful part of the motel experience.

[p]Hey everyone! šŸ‘‹[/p][p]We've got some exciting updates to share as Holiday Motel Simulator enters its final phase of development. Here's a quick rundown of what we've been working on!

🌓 Map runs smoother now
We spent some time cleaning up and optimizing the map so everything runs better. Fewer hiccups, better performance, and a smoother experience overall - especially on mid-range PCs.
[/p][p]🌓 Intro missions are done
All the early story missions are now finished! These are the ones that gently walk you through the game’s core mechanics without feeling like a boring tutorial.
[/p][p]🌓 Beta testing in progress
We’ve got people playing the game behind the scenes, sending us feedback and bug reports. It’s helping a ton, and we’re really grateful for all the input. If you’re part of the beta, thank you!
[/p][p]🌓 New in-game tutorial app
You know those annoying tutorial pop-ups that break the flow of a game? Yeah, we’re not fans either. Instead, we’ve added a tutorial app to your in-game phone. If you're ever unsure about how something works, you can just check it out there - no pressure, no interruptions. It’s there if you need it, and out of your way if you don’t.[/p][p][/p][p]🌓 Final production phase
Right now we’re focused on tightening everything up - finalizing all the mechanics, polishing systems, and making sure the whole game works smoothly together. One of our main priorities here is the save system, making sure it handles everything without a hitch.

Catch you soon!

Hey everyone! šŸ‘‹

Hope you're all doing great. We’ve got a fresh update for Holiday Motel Simulator and wanted to give you a quick peek at what we’ve been cooking up - literally, in some cases. šŸ˜„

Lately, we’ve been focused on making the beach area feel way more alive and… well, vacation-y. There’s also been a bunch of polish and behind-the-scenes improvements to help everything run smoother. Let’s break it down:

šŸ¹ The Beach is Getting Busy!

We’ve finally added two big features:

Beach Bar Drinks - You will be able to mix and serve drinks in the evenings. The system is fully functional (with more visual tweaks coming soon), so get ready to channel your inner beach bartender soon!

Beach Food Service – During the day, you'll be serving simple meals to hungry beachgoers.

The beach isn’t just for chilling anymore... it’s for cooking and mixing too. šŸ˜Ž



😓 Simplified Sleep System
Sleeping is a lot more straightforward now. You can choose to sleep until morning or evening, and the bed UI has been cleaned up to make it easier to use.

šŸ“± Phone UI Got a Tune-Up
We gave the in-game phone a little makeover. Menus are smoother and just feel better to use. Not a huge change, but a nice quality-of-life improvement!

šŸ—ŗļø Map Tweaks & Performance Touch-Ups
We’ve made some behind-the-scenes changes to static objects on the map for better performance. Just making things run nicer overall!



šŸŽØ Visual Polish & Random Fun Stuff
āœ…Added more graffiti and changed up some meshes like newspapers and small props.
āœ…Improved a ton of object textures. Everything looks just a bit nicer now.
āœ…Even the trash bag tool got an upgrade with a more detailed model. Because hey, even garbage deserves to look good, right?

🧪 Wanna Help Us Test Soon?
We’re still deep in development - tuning systems, cleaning things up, and working on the overall feel of the game. Once everything’s a bit more stable, we’re planning to open up playtesting.

If you’re interested in helping out, hop into our Discord and keep an eye out for test announcements!



Thanks as always for sticking with us! Every update gets us one step closer to making Holiday Motel Simulator the weird, chill, offbeat vacation game we’ve always imagined. šŸļø


Catch you soon!

Dear Future Motel Owners!

Welcome to another update this year! We’re excited to share the progress we’ve made on our game. We’re happy to announce that we have completely finished and fully refined the room renovation mechanics! Everything is working great, and we can’t wait for you to experience it yourselves.

At the beginning, the available rooms will be in terrible condition – completely uninhabitable. One of your first tasks will be to fully renovate them. In total, you’ll have 18 rooms to restore, which will become a key source of income and allow you to further develop your motel.

šŸ›  Take a look inside – the first renovated room! šŸ› 

This is what a fully restored guest room can look like!

You now have access to over 600 different items for interior design! You can freely choose from a wide range of furniture, lighting, building materials, and decorations, creating unique spaces in your motel.

We hope that the customization options will inspire you and allow you to fully unleash your creativity. We can’t wait to see the amazing interiors you create! šŸŽØāœØ

🌓 What’s Next? AI Development and New Features! 🌓

We are currently focusing on developing and implementing AI for motel guests, their interactions with the environment, and how they are serviced. We are also working on new features related to the motel shop, the beach, and the beach bar located right behind it.

There will be plenty of challenges ahead – managing the motel is just the beginning! You’ll need to take care of not only your guests’ comfort but also ensure the smooth operation of the beach and the shop. One thing is certain – you won’t have time to get bored!

Additionally, after the game’s release, we plan to continuously expand and improve it based on your feedback. As we mentioned before, we’re planning to launch the game in Early Access, meaning you’ll soon have the opportunity to actively shape its development. We’re committed to making this game the best it can be – and for that, we need you, the players! šŸŽ®šŸ’”

Thank you for your support, and we can’t wait to share even more updates with you soon! šŸš€

Best Regards

Dear Future Motel Owners!

With the new year upon us, we warmly welcome you and thank you for the tremendous interest and support you’ve shown for our game. To kick off this year, we’d like to share some updates on the progress of our development.

We’re currently focused on rewriting most of the game’s mechanics to create more optimized code. This will ensure the game runs faster, smoother, and is better prepared for future updates. Our internal beta tests have shown that this is a crucial step in delivering the best possible experience for you.

We’re thrilled to announce that we’re introducing items to the in-game shop. At this moment, we already have over 200 unique pieces of furniture that you can place in your rooms—and this is just the beginning! We haven’t even touched on bathroom items, wall and floor finishes, or many other features. This is only a small fraction of what we’ve planned, and we’re adding more every day. All of this is designed to give you the greatest creative freedom in decorating and designing your future motels.

The code changes we’re implementing now are also aimed at allowing us to quickly respond to your feedback and adapt the game to your expectations once it enters Early Access.

While there’s still a lot of work ahead, we’re fully committed to completing it and are doing everything we can to release the game this year without any delays. Unfortunately, due to the scale of the project and our limited resources, we can’t provide you with a specific release date yet. However, we promise to keep you updated regularly on our progress.

Thank you for your patience, support, and enthusiasm—they truly drive us forward. We are a small but incredibly dedicated team—just a handful of people pouring their hearts into this project. We believe the final result will be worth the wait, and we hope it will exceed your expectations!

Thank you for joining us on this incredible journey. See you in the upcoming updates—and once again, we wish you a very Happy New Year!

Best regards,
RED Phoenix Interactive
